| ...Without setting the display of the b4de2a49c8SVG8c94a2ed4b to none, and even though its contents are not rendered on the page, the b4de2a49c8SVG8c94a2ed4b will still take up space in the page, resulting in a big empty area. In order to avoid that, we’re hiding the b4de2a49c8SVG8c94a2ed4b entirely with CSS.
Now, suppose we have a Twitter icon in the icons folder. twitter.b4de2a49c8svg8c94a2ed4b might look something like this:

| It is almost 2014 and fifteen years ago the W3C started to develop a web-based scalable vector graphics (b4de2a49c8SVG8c94a2ed4b) format. As web technologies go, this one is pretty old and well entrenched.

Unlike rasterized images, b4de2a49c8SVG8c94a2ed4b files will stay crisp and sharp at any resolution. With high-DPI phones, tablets and monitors, all those rasterized icons are starting to look a bit old and blocky. There are several options to get simpler, decorative pieces to render smoothly and respond to various... |

| ...On the other hand, if smart scalability is what you’re after, it’s also possible to make all of an b4de2a49c8SVG8c94a2ed4b’s shapes and motion scale with the b4de2a49c8SVG8c94a2ed4b canvas itself. Sarah covers both these clever responsive b4de2a49c8SVG8c94a2ed4b techniques in detail. Creative and complex animation can easily become responsive thanks to the power of b4de2a49c8SVG8c94a2ed4b!

This rather complicated looking set of rules is (at the time of writing) the most bulletproof way of ensuring as many browsers as possible load the font we want. We’ll now use the content property applied to the :before pseudo-class selector to generate our icon. Once again, we’ll use those multiple class attribute values to set common icon styles, then specific styles for .basket. This helps us avoid repeating styles:
.icon {
font-family: 'Pictos';
font-size: 22px... |

| ...Our keyboard is actually an b4de2a49c8SVG8c94a2ed4b picture of a keyboard, so we can traverse the elements of it and map each element to a sound generated by one of the functions that we came up with before.
Array.from(b4de2a49c8svg8c94a2ed4b.querySelector('rect'))
.sort((a, b) => + a.x - b.x)
.forEach((key, i) =>
key.addEventListener('touchstart',
sound(0.75, ease(harmony(freq(i + 48))))
)
)
rect {stroke: #ddd;}
rect:hover {opacity: 0.8; stroke: #000}
Et voilà. We have a keyboard.

| ...The pictures can be animated, such as in this canvas mashup of Wolfenstein 3D and Flickr. (The difference between canvas and b4de2a49c8SVG8c94a2ed4b is that b4de2a49c8SVG8c94a2ed4b uses vector graphics, so is infinitely scalable. It also keeps a DOM, whereas canvas is just pixels so you have to do all your own book-keeping yourself in JavaScript if you want to know where aliens are on screen, or do collision detection.)
Previously, you needed to do this using Adobe Flash or Java applets, requiring plugins and potentially compromising keyboard accessibility. Canvas drawing is supported now in Opera, Safari, Chrome and Firefox. The... |

The projected visuals, I imagined, could be anything you can create within a browser, whether that be simple HTML and CSS, images, videos, b4de2a49c8SVG8c94a2ed4b or canvas. The only requirement I have is that they move or change with sound and that I can mix any one visual into another.
You may remember a couple of years ago I created a demo on this very site, allowing audio-triggered visuals from the ambient sounds your device mic was picking up. That was a great starting point – I used that exact method to pick up the audio and thus the... |

| ...Complex patterns that require a large number of gradients are probably better left to b4de2a49c8SVG8c94a2ed4b or bitmap images, since they negate almost every advantage of this technique:
they are not shorter
they are not really comprehensible – changing them requires much more effort than using an image editor
They still save an HTTP request, but so does a data URI.
I have included some very complex patterns in my gallery, because even though I think they shouldn’t be used in production (except under very exceptional conditions), understanding how they work and coding them helps somebody understand the technology in much... |
